Approve De-Isolation

After the work is complete, the ICC moves to the Approve De-Isolation stage. If the ICC is linked to a permit, this happens once the Permit Issuer closes the permit. The ICC Approver reviews the de-isolation plan to confirm it is safe and compliant before the ICC Owner can remove the isolation.

Role: ICC Approver. Platform: Web.

To approve the de-isolation, follow the steps below:

Navigate to EHS → Isolation from the left navigation panel.
Click Total Isolations or Approve De-Isolation tab.
Select the ICC to approve
Review the ICC details and confirm that it is safe to de-isolate. Check:
1. The linked permit is closed, and the work is complete.
2. Tools and materials are removed, guards and covers are back in place, and the equipment is ready to return to service.
Click Submit → Revert to send the ICC back to the ICC Owner if corrections or additional details are required. Enter the reason for the revert.
Click Submit to approve the de-isolation.
